🥊 Correct! Muhammad Ali is famously known as both 'The Greatest' and 'The People’s Champion.' Born Cassius Clay, he captured the world’s attention by winning a gold medal in the 1960 Olympics and becoming the heavyweight champion of the world just four years later by defeating Sonny Liston. Ali’s boxing style was poetic—'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee'—and his footwork, speed, and strategy were unmatched. Outside the ring, Ali stood for civil rights, refused to be drafted into the Vietnam War, and was stripped of his titles at the peak of his career for his beliefs. He later reclaimed his titles in epic fights like the 'Rumble in the Jungle' and the 'Thrilla in Manila.' Ali’s legacy goes far beyond sports—he was a global humanitarian, activist, and icon. His blend of bravery, brilliance, and belief makes him the rightful answer to this question.
